    Problem in Makefile

    Hi Guys,

    I have a couple of problems in understanding make file.

    1. What is the difference when I say

    OBJECTS = allocate.o auxiliary.o crossover.o
    OBJECTS := allocate.o auxiliary.o crossover.o

    2. When I write

    all: main

    why does makefile execute the other targets though all: does not have any command. What does the dependence main mean for all:

    Looking forward for your reply.

    1. Don't know offhand
    2. What is 'main's dependencies? 'all: main' means that the 'all' target depends on the 'main' target.

    check out the online version of the make man page:

    search "variable assignments"
